    Circular Pre Stressing

    Uploaded by

    patkariuki
    This document discusses circular prestressing in concrete structures. Circular prestressing involves prestressing members that are curved, such as in pipes, tanks, silos, and domes. It resists hoop tension from internal pressure. Prestressing is done using wires or tendons spirally or in sectors around the circumference. Buttresses are used to anchor the tendons to reduce friction losses. Analysis at transfer calculates compressive stress from the initial prestress force. Design considers stresses at transfer and in service. Specific applications of circular prestressing discussed include pipes, liquid storage tanks, and ring beams.

    9.6.1 Introduction
    When the prestressed members are curved, in the direction of prestressing, the
    prestressing is called circular prestressing. For example, circumferential prestressing in
    pipes, tanks, silos, containment structures and similar structures is a type of circular
    prestressing. In these structures, there can be prestressing in the longitudinal direction
    (parallel to axis) as well. Circular prestressing is also applied in domes, shells and
    folded plates.

    The circumferential prestressing resists the hoop tension generated due to the internal
    pressure. The prestressing is done by wires or tendons placed spirally, or over sectors
    of the circumference of the member. The wires or tendons lay outside the concrete
    core. Hence, the centre of the prestressing steel (CGS) is outside the core concrete
    section.

    The hoop compression generated is considered to be uniform across the thickness of a


    thin shell. Hence, the pressure line (or C-line) lies at the centre of the core concrete
    section (CGC). The following sketch shows the internal forces under service conditions.
    The analysis is done for a slice of unit length along the longitudinal direction (parallel to
    axis).

    To reduce the loss of prestress due to friction, the prestressing can be done over
    sectors of the circumference. Buttresses are used for the anchorage of the tendons.
    The following sketch shows the buttresses along the circumference.

    9.6.2 General Analysis and Design


    Analysis
    The basics of analysis and design for circumferential prestressing are provided for a
    general understanding. Specific applications such as pipes, liquid storage tanks and
    ring beams will be explained later.

    Analysis at Transfer
    The compressive stress can be calculated from the compression C. From equilibrium,
    C = P0, where P0 is the prestress at transfer after short-term losses. The compressive
    stress (fc) is given as follows

    fc = -

    P0
    A

    Here,
    A = area of the longitudinal section of the slice.
